Bizzar & Funny things you have see at a City match

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I remember being at a match in the late 80s at Maine Rd, I think Everton but not sure, that was televised on that pisspoor ITV Sunday afternoon slot. As the players come downthe tunnel, the whole Kippax sings 'Elton Welsby is a wanker, is a wanker'

Also remember Alan Ball sending on Creaney when we were losing to Barnsley in the Nationwide, and we were really shite. Everyone had lost interest when they saw Creaney waiting to come on. Stunned silence descends, then someone says 'theyre in trouble now' and everyone just pissed themselves.

announcer boomed out for somebody to remove there car before it was towed away,really funny at the time

Can't remember the year but probably early eighties. There was a spate of people bringing stray dogs off the streets into the Kippax. As you would expect it brought a bit of excitement to the proceedings the first two occasions it happened. Usual stuff - piss on the goalpost, the crowd erupts then running around for a while then either being caught or fucking off down between the Platt Lane/Kippax. The THIRD game this happened Alfie the jack russell was too good for them, he was on the pitch ages, he'd pissed on the post, and skinned a few players. At this point players were lieing down trying to lull him in- but no way- our little hero was lapping it up the crowd were cheering he was playing to it, and to be truthful it was better than the match! Then the legendary Stan Gibson arrived with a spare goal net!! The fiasco didn't last too much longer before the little fella was snared, but it was hilarious at the time.

I remember those, one of them was against the Birmingham and it coincided with one of Tricky Trev's many injury "breaks". During the game a black labrador ran onto the pitch and to the goal in front of Platt Lane. The brummies instantly chanted "Francis is back"
Even City fans applauded and laughed at that one.

Anyone remember being 4-0 down to arsenal after 20mins?

"Whats it like to be outclassed?"
and
"Can we play you every week?"

Not sure if it was the same game as I can recall a couple of home games against Arsenal within a couple of years of each other in which we were humiliated. Anyway, in the game I'm thinking of they'd rested a few of their big players and without about 20 minutes to go Henry and Vieira both came on together, cue the City fans singing "Who the fucking hell are you?"

We're not as funny as we used to be.

also remember a few of us shouting at seamen to "do some thing to earn your wage" ... was that the game with the streakers as well
